Headband looks better when the cans are on a head. I know the good doctor said that isn't the final version, but I'm intrigued by the suspension design, esp. if it can be used with the HE-500s. Definitely like the teakwood cups.

this style of headband like the one used by stax is still by far the most comfortable for me......definitely looking forward to them

If HFM can nail earpad ergonomics too then no doubt these new cans will be miles ahead in terms of comfort compared to older models. It's all about ergonomic fitting and smart distribution of pressures.
